There has been an official Miiverse Android app for months...

The Gateway 3DS doesn't support homebrew, and never would be able to because of the way it's designed. It's unable to run anything that's not properly signed, so unless you have the private key (which is pretty much impossible to get), then there is no way to run homebrew.

@laughingman0 That's in the USA, due to the DMCA. However, breaking a "User Agreement" is not the same thing as breaking the law. It's not a legally binding contract.

@theblackdragon Thank you. I just sent a message. By the way, I'm sorry if I came across as angry, as that wasn't my intention. Sometimes I forget how much communication is lost through a message.

They need to go after Gateway 3DS or WiikeyU instead. They don't contribute to anything but piracy, as they can't run unofficial software (homebrew).

I wish the writer of this article would read my previous comments so he could get his facts straight.

@Hyperstar96 My mistake. It's been a long time since then. I've been following this since the beginning, but I've never been good with dates. However, as a homebrew developer (google my name), I do know a fair amount about this. Breaking past the security was not easy. What you did was just run some software that bypassed the security through an exploit. That's completely different from hacking. The actual work took over a year of hard work from several people.

@FiveDigitLP Nintendo (and many other companies) like to spread misinformation through their press releases. The site isn't selling games, homebrew software isn't illegal, etc.

@Hyperstar96 I was talking about public releases, which was nearer to 2 years. However, that does NOT mean it was easy.

@Fazermint That's another lie in the press release.

@FiveDigitLP Two points:
First, that doesn't make the software itself illegal. It was the act of bypassing the security measures that was illegal, which (currently) violates the DMCA.
Second, the DMCA is only applicable in the United States.

@darkgamer001 I can't speak for ieaghosts, but there are flaws in both the article and the press release. I am strongly against piracy. As a developer, I get tired of people acting like homebrew and piracy are one and the same. They aren't. Also, homebrew (or "illegal software" as it's referred to in the Press Release) is by no means illegal. It is 100% legal.

"Both of the last-gen systems were easily cracked" <--I don't know about the DS systems, but that's definitely not true for the Wii. It took a couple years of hard work before homebrew was running on the Wii. There is nothing wrong with homebrew either, there is a big difference between homebrew and piracy.

Something about the wording (i.e. mentioning a mans wife, the word Princess", etc.) makes it sound like they are asking for the title of the "Princess" in the best selling franchise. If you break it down and read it carefully, it's clear what they are actually asking for. But it's a very confusing question.

I bought mine solely for developing homebrew (hard to believe, I know), but it got blocked with the last update. I lost interest in DS homebrew quickly anyway, it wasn't nearly as fun as Wii homebrew. Also, libnds is weird.

You might want to fix this line, "Many EA games use the Frostbite 3 engine, which has apparently tested poorly on the Wii U,". They never even tested Frostbite 3, just Frostbite 2 which doesn't make use of cache (the one thing the Wii U has lots of).

"That's why I'm not letting you play", lol.

"Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience."
Generally meaning they blocked flash carts. And they did. Testing isn't done, but it seems like they blocked ALL of them.

Now even more people can pretend to exercise in front of the TV.

@miiandmario Oh, I see what's changed. You can now create new posts ( as in conversations/threads). I don't know why the article mentions "replying" as an upgrade though, as you've always been able to do that.

I'm confused. This has been around for over a month. I've been using it (posting, not just viewing) on my computer and through an Android app.

@k8sMum I disagree. Both are examples of things getting cancelled because of completely unrelated events. There is no connection at all between a hate crime and a swimming pool with red water.

It was a creepy promo, but I don't get why they would cancel it over a completely unrelated event. What happened was tragic, but it had nothing to do with Capcom's promo. It's not like Capcom's promo involved shooting a soldier in the street. I doubt anybody would have connected the two if Capcom hadn't cancelled the even. It's like cancelling a birthday party because someone you don't know got a bad haircut.
